With the massive proliferation of cheap GoPros and other cameras, it seems like every second of Russia's free-for-all roads are now recorded. These are the thirteen most unbelievable moments from the year.

We've already detailed why Russians are obsessed with dash cams, but the short of it is that it's a madhouse out there. Writer Marina Galperina put it simply: having a dash camera is better protection for the shit you run into in the vast expanses of Siberian nothing than a lead pipe under the dash. But you might still want that lead pipe.

We got these videos from YouTube, LiveLeak, and the ever-vigilant staff of CarScoop. Given just how many people started putting dash cam recordings on the Internet in 2012, we're sure we missed something. Post the YouTube link of whatever video we forgot in Kinja below.

Now, in chronological order, are the greatest Russian dash cam videos of the year. Which video do you think is the craziest, and which person was the luckiest?

This video typifies the Russian dash cam experience: rural road, oncoming truck barreling directly at your face. This video took a spin on the formula by having trucks fill up both lanes of traffic. The brave driver barely makes it to the shoulder in time.

Remember when we said you should maybe still carry a lead pipe under your dash? Road rage is a problem in Russia, and little was crazier than this young dude popping a few shots at an offending car right in the middle of a city, right in the middle of traffic. And he's so calm about it.

The Luckiest Guy In Russia, Part Three

Our third and final candidate for luckiest guy in Russia was the passenger who emerged unscathed from this holy crap how did anyone live crash. In fact, the driver survived as well, but was hospitalized with broken ribs.
